Cortile Sky Bar & Pool

1066 Budapest, Dessewffy u. 14.

We are not exaggerating when we say that in downtown Dessewffy Street, the Cortile Sky Bar&Pool, where the roof terrace stretches mostly towards the sky, promises an unforgettable adventure: toasting and chilling at ethereal heights, moreover a refreshing splash over the city. The wide panorama, the 15-meter long infinity pool can only be crowned by a wide selection of drinks. Sunbathing on the terrace, enjoying the sunset, the first evening lights of the city, admiring the illuminated Basilica from this new perspective and relaxing in the pool from afternoon to evening is definitely an unrepeatable experience.

Intermezzo Roof Terrace

1054 Budapest, Hold street 3. (Hotel President)

Intermezzo on Hold Street is one of the most unique dinner spots in Budapest not only because of the colorful decoration. Every moment spent in the restaurant is to remember for, because of the towers and domes of the basilica – right next door. We recommend a visit not only for the views, but also for delicious food and drink specials!

Solid

1053 Budapest, Királyi Pál utca 4.

SOLID, the newest rooftop bar in the city center, opened its doors as the wine bar of the Michelin-starred SALT restaurant. In the bar, located seven floors high and offering a breathtaking panorama, the natural and biodynamic wines form the backbone of the assortment, which are accompanied by food prepared by the SALT team. In the selection freshly made baked goods and homemade pickles play an important role, but you can’t go wrong with the reimagined dishes of the à la carte breakfast either!

The Duchess Rooftop Bar

1056 Budapest, Váci u. 36. (Mathild Palace)

The Duchess is hiding on the top of the newly renovated, five-star hotel, the Mathild Palace.
